It naturally oxygenates water, competes with algae for nutrients, and supports healthy pond ecosystems while providing shelter for fish. Ideal for outdoor ponds from spring to autumn, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires minimal maintenance. ## Description A family-run Lincolnshire nursery growing oxygenating pond plants for UK garden ponds and fish tanks. Bunches of Elodea densa, hornwort and Callitriche arrive in lead or ceramic weights β€” drop them straight into the water. No basket, aquatic soil or planting needed. Plant in aquatic baskets on a shelf 0–15cm deep, March to September. Native and hardy, they feed wildlife and hide the liner edge. A rootless UK native that overwinters outdoors and tolerates shade. Drop the weighted bunch in β€” it feeds on nitrate straight from the water. Fish tank plants live from UK stock β€” potted, bunched or on wood. They absorb nitrate, shelter fry and shrimp and slow algae in the tank. Weighted bunches you drop straight in β€” no planting needed. Add April to September to soak up nutrients, slow algae and oxygenate. Bunches arrive in lead or ceramic weights β€” no basket, no aquatic soil, no planting. Around 3–4 bunches per square metre of surface. 5–8 bunches suits a small 2mΒ² pond. Any time the water is above 8Β°C. Spring is best β€” weed in early beats the algae bloom. Elodea densa, hornwort and Callitriche are grazed by goldfish and koi, and shelter fry. Oxygenators strip nitrate from the water and shade it, slowing green water naturally. A bird’s-eye view of our Lincolnshire growing site, where marginal, bog and oxygenating pond plants are grown outdoors in British conditions before they are lifted for your order. Plants raised outdoors here are already acclimatised to a UK pond, so they settle in faster than glasshouse-forced stock. When should I put oxygenating weed in my pond? Any time from March to October while the water is above about 8Β°C. Spring is best: getting weed in before the water warms lets it take up nitrate before algae can bloom. Do I need to plant oxygenating weed? No. Bunches arrive in lead or ceramic weights and are dropped straight into the water. They sink, settle on the bottom and start growing without a basket or aquatic soil. How much oxygenating weed does my pond need? A rough guide is 3–4 bunches per square metre of surface, so 5–8 bunches for a small 2mΒ² pond. Add more in a pond in full sun and fewer in a shaded one. Is oxygenating weed safe for goldfish and koi? Yes. Elodea densa, hornwort and Callitriche are all grazed by goldfish and koi without harm, and give fry somewhere to hide. Heavily stocked ponds need topping up more often. Which oxygenator is best for a small outdoor pond? Hornwort is the easiest β€” rootless, hardy, shade-tolerant and it overwinters in the UK. Elodea densa grows faster in full sun. Callitriche stays short, so it suits shallow water. 10 x ELODEA DENSA Milfoil (2 Bunch) Salvinia Natans Callitriche Stagnalis Ceratophyllum (Hornwort) Mixed Oxygenating Weed Ranunculus Aquatillis Largest supplier of pond and bog plants in the uk.

They also shade the water, slowing algae by limiting sunlight. **Q: When is the best time to plant pond plants?** A: The ideal time is spring through early summer, when temperatures are rising. This gives plants time to establish and grow strongly during the warmer months. **Q: Do I need soil to plant in a pond?** A: Most pond plants do best in aquatic planting baskets filled with aquatic soil or a low-nutrient compost, which helps anchor the plants while preventing excess nutrients in the water. **Q: Will pond plants survive the winter?** A: Many pond plants are hardy and will return each year, especially native UK species. However, some tropical or tender varieties may need to be moved indoors or protected. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ They will live, they want to! *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 12 July 2026* I owe the lovely chap I messaged about these plants an apology. When they arrived, they were brown and dead looking. I messaged and got immediate feedback through the chat, which was really helpful but I wasn't sure they were telling the truth when they said the dead brown things would indeed live. Well, they were absolutely right! The weed is spreading very nicely now. I purchased for a different pond years ago, so I know that now they are established, they will thrive. Just have faith- great sellers, great product. Photos are from a few weeks ago, much greener now (but so is the pond, needs more barley to kill of the algae, hence no current photos.) ### ⭐ Not what was expected. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 30 September 2019* Have stupidly bought this product twice now. First time one bunch half the plant was black and died quite quickly. Other plants I'd bought at same time lived so for one bunch I thought leave as. I bought three more bunch same issues and bunches all but dead.Messaged immediately as per instructions couldn't send a pic which wasn't their fault but I had took pics before I put them in pond. Hoping that a bit might live. Finally got pictures sent through but this was well after the fact and apparently they look fine and that's how they should look. They send info with plants but no where does it state plants will be half black.Had they I would have took more pictures. Before they degraded completely. Shame seemed like a good place. However won't be ordering again. I ordered three bunches not three strands which is effectively what we have now. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pond plant *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 28 March 2024* I have ordered a few oxygenating plants for my small pond. They arrived quickly in the post and looked ok. They are weighted down and put in the pond, but they haven't really thrived. Removed from the pond and kept separately in water to see if they perked up, which they did. Did return to the pond but have been a bit disappointed with them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lincolnshire Pond Plants Ltd Ranunculus aquatillis Oxygenating Pond Plant - Fish or Wildlife Pond and bog Aquatic Plants - 2 Bunches - 10 x Oxygenating Weed Live Pond Plant ELODEA DENSA - Also Aquarium Aquatic Plants - Salvinia Natans Water Butterfly Wings Live Floating Plants --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48209556-lincsplants-ranunculus-aquatillis-oxygenating-pond-plant-2-bunches](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48209556-lincsplants-ranunculus-aquatillis-oxygenating-pond-plant-2-bunches) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
